Contacted 5 vendors since Sat via email and voice mail. Only one has emailed me back. Guess they dont want business

Dude, Saturday to Monday? Maybe they race on Saturday and spend some time with family on Sunday. Give 'em a business day or two to get back with ya, then give 'em He{{!

Its kind of like a contractor - Do you really want the guy who can start tomorrow to build you new four car garage?

Of course, I am waiting on two vendors to return e-mails to me! One is a third time! I am giving him till the end of the day and I'll place the order with someone else.

Mark doesn't sound pleased...nor am I.


The problem with technology is that a good website can camoflage a poorly run company. Bricks & mortar and great people can't be seen by clicking a mouse.

Calling isn't the problem - its their not returning voice mail messages which is the problem.

I have had problems getting items from the US if shipped via USPS since it has been taking longer to get through custom. Remember the Custom guys are battling with the Canadian Government right now but I forget what for. I waited almost two months for Items from Zip and they sent them out the day after I called them.
